Getting to Know Your Wireless Router 8
• Manual Setup: If you cannot or prefer not to use the Smart Wizard Installation Assistant, see
“Manually Installing Your Router” on page 11. For example, if you are connecting to a Mac,
are using a Linux operating system, or are technically knowledgeable, select this option. If you
choose to use this option and install your router manually, for best results, install and set up
your router in this order:
1. Install and connect your wireless router to your network (see “Connecting Your Wireless
Router” on page 12).
2. Set up your wireless router for Internet access (see “Setting Up Your Router for Internet
Access” on page 16).
3. Configure your wireless network and select wireless security settings to protect your
wireless network (see “Configuring Your Wireless Network” on page 20).
